    A Cup of Misery, A Sip of Sorrow

    A Cup of Misery, A Sip of Sorrow.

    Written by: Xtreme Malice and Mr. Write


    I was fortunate
    .
    .
    .
    enough to make..
    ..love to you until dawn.
    During the midst of mourning,
    as f grieved over midnight lust.
    For each cup of misery allows..
    ..me to sip sorrow, while pouring,
    my heart into swallowing gulps.

    Swelling the glands on a...
    ..broken vessel, forever destined..
    ..to sail alone in remembrance.
    Throbing while buyers place bids,
    on shattered pieces..
    ..coarsing in vein and regret.

    For the wind blows memories..
    ..memories of times we chilled,
    until we reached a freezing point.
    Exceeding my life as a pond,
    for as cold as it might seem..
    ..sacrafices are neccessary,
    from within the chest.

    She keeps me warm,
    Filled with butterflies afloat
    My abdomen of love…
    …leaving no room for errors.
    No place to rest for a second wind,
    No breathers just accelerations..
    ..of fast paced emotions,
    Plastered on the wall-
    The art show of us,
    Was engraved passionately…
    …on my heart.
    I lacerate execrations,
    Painted vigorously over…
    …the space missing in my head.
    -Lust I tell you Lust
    I move swiftly in the shadows,
    Of her wanting me more…
    …I wickedly tap my feet;
    To a hidden beat…
    …residing behind my chest.
    -that sleeps
    .
    .
    I
    Am
    A
    Man
    With
    Emotions
    Wanting
    Love
    To
    Pendulum
    Swing
    My
    Way
    .
    .
    For the time being,
    I do my best to stay apart;
    Of your mind but your thoughts,
    Leave me stunned…
    …cause I just don’t know were
    -to start
    A Cup of misery for the past,
    A cup of sorrow for tomorrow.
    But for today…
    …I sip slow on pain;
    Wanting nothing more than you
    -so I wait in vein
    .
    .
    Moves strategically placed..
    ..to protect the king's treasure;
    Although the queen alone has..
    ..the power to move and control,
    the bored with excitement.

    See..
    ..as I sit in silence,
    with my cup of misery,
    sipping sorrow.
    A dull taste upon my tongue,
    as if the buds turned..
    ..a pale white with color.
    I have realized..
    ..realized I have not changed.
    The filter placed to extract..
    ..has nothing more then to remember.

    Hence my thirst for her company.

    Where the fuck was I fore they found me?
    Floatn in a meadow, dragonflies all around me
    Seeded in a ghetto, smokin cigarellos
    Stress oceans try to drown me
    Walking on water like when Christ did, glidin
    Mic in my plam like the trident in the hand of Poseidon

    Where's my sig love?



    Alright, the one tiny, unimportant thing that bugged me to the very LEAST. Is the way you formatted it. To fit the structure, how you had two or three periods starting the line off. . . it wasn't needed at all mate. Lol. This isn't 2006, nobody formats like that or cares about structure anymore. But, in other news... dope poem! An interesting site from the brilliant audio mind and former topical genious of Xtreme Malice. The concept was something nearly everybody could relate to. Though it's been done, if you can do it with good content then there is no problem! And your writing was well done which led to no flaw in the concept. Wording was pretty good (minus the annoying ant-like dots that were oddly placed before every other line) and everything flowed well. Your imagery was very well detailed and you had your descriptions set nicely. Emotion was dead on.. over all a real good poem. Surprised me, Nom'd.

    This was really good! I liked the content and subject line for this piece. I felt that the imagery was very nice. The detail was very good. I thought that this piece was very consistent and I loved the read. I haven't read that much of your work but you said that you haven't written a poem in awhile. I hope to see more

    Re: A Cup of Misery, A Sip of Sorrow

    Poetry is more emotion then rhyming the scheme is all in what you feel not what words have the same syllable preference and sounds...

    ...but Ebolo thinks on the feed Ima take some time to get brushed up on my poems and then once im comfortable i'll join a league or two
